61175, Updated engine bay pics
Posted by Ryan_Hes, Oct-30-03 10:47 AM
Here are 2 shots of my engine bay after all my recent changes.



Lots of silver :)



Heres my custom IC piping. That's 2.5" mandrel bent pipe at the throttle body! haha -- I'm in with the 'bigger is better' crowd. Having the battery relocated is nice...

I love your car man!

I dont know if you want advice? But I'll just give you my 2cents it couldn't hurt. Your engine bay is depressing maybe a little more bling to give it some life? It looks good, just reminds me of the dead of winter when everything is dark cold and depressing.

Looks like a mean machine. I like the silver/gun metal look. I painted my valve cover and it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Clean your filter.

Very sweet! I think what ^^^^ was talking about is you need some color under the hood. I am still jealous!

If you ever decide to go that route I can help you out... polished intake side of the turbo, powder coated/polished valve cover, powder coated/polished intake manifold, powder coated strut bar brackets... etc. Just some thoughts right off hand.
:cheers
